I am glad for the positive responses. The video makes did a great job. There is a ton of material on the internet about Permaculture and food forest. Learn about it, anybody can do what we did.

I have watched many many food forest garden, permaculture, etc. youtube videos over latter months - and many of them repeatedly. Your is yet another wonderfully instructive and inspiring one. Thank you so much for sharing your ongoing experience with those of us who long to do the same:)

@heartlessvietboy For starters the lemon in your backyard doesn't cost anything.

[DontPlayForPoint]

@heartlessvietboy the lemon you buy at the store is picked before it is ripe and shipped across the country, if not the world, ending up costing a lot in packaging for shipping and fuel costs for transportation, where as the one in your backyard fits into the system of the world where the only by product it creates is compost and only fuel that is required is sunlight.

you could add more native herbs if you can.

[heartlessvietboy]

What is the difference between the same lemon in your backyard and the same lemon sold at the market?

Israel is a world leader and a pioneer in this field. My wife and I were privileged to visit last year and were very impressed.

Very impressive and inspirational. And what a beautiful and impressive food forest. This proves that you don't have to have a lot of land to get started. Thank you so much for the info.

And shame on buxehude 123 for cursing and sounding so vile. People that are truly environmetally conscious do not engage in such petty, personal vicious attacks.

While I am not a "tree hugger" by any definition of the word, I really like this. It just makes sense. Less lawn to cut and tend to, FREE, GOOD FOOD. Any time I get to save a little bit out of my pay check, it is good.

I will bet that the house gets a little shade from the trees in the garden, too. (Saved money on power bill.)

Any intelligent person can see that this make good sense.
